Nice.
Drudge et al are hyping the "racist" meme to defend Alito from attacks on his ultra-far-right philosophies.
Meanwhile, the Democratic National Committee sent out talking points this morning titled: "Judge 'Scalito' Has Long History Of States Rights, Anti-Civil Rights, And Anti-Immigrant Rulings." More from the DNC's anti-Italian American talkers: "Alito is often referred to as 'Judge Scalito' because of his adherence to Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia's right-wing judicial philosophy."
Oh boy. You've just stepped in it now, shitheads. This one's personal -- screw everything else written on this site, and on every other site, about Alito for the time being.
See, here's the thing. I'm Italian American. I'm also an at-this-point-happily-lapsed but still damn respectful Roman Catholic.
And I will be God Damn Fucking Dead And In a Hole In The Fucking Ground before I let you claim "Italian American" OR Roman Catholic as a fucking code phrase for batshit conservative reactionaries whose dismissal of womens' rights, civil rights, worker rights, and pretty much everything else that has made America great make it clear they think all those things are akin to something they would normally scrape off their shoes.
There's nothing fucking "Italian American" about being an ultra-far-right conservative jackass. You will not drag my heritage into this like you shoved Alito's well-groomed hand up Rosa Parks' corpse, or I will bury you, you loathsome little egg-humping fucker. And unlike most of the victims of your only-like-a-minority-when-they're-dead corpse huggings, I'm still very much alive.
Yeah, let's just see a fight between Italian Americans on this one. Let's him and me fight, is that it? Not gonna happen. I despise Alito because he's a Scalia-Thomas-Dobson reactionary blowhard so far out of the mainstream that in his mental counties they haven't even invented the damn telegraph yet, and our shared ethnicity has exactly Zero The Fuck To Do With It. And you goddamn race-baiters know it.
Goddamn it, if you want to see one particular stereotype come to full fruition, you got it. Yeah, I'm an Italian American, with the funny sounding name and the brownish-blackish hair and the big, black eyebrows above two eyes that look like the apocalypse may burst right the hell out of them at any particular moment of the day. I'm part Sicilian, and I'm another big part Scottish, which means between the two of them that my natural demeanor in this fight is to rip off your arms, beat you to death with them, and serve the remains stuffed in dissected sheep parts and delivered to your parents' doorstep.
Goddamn it Drudge, and all the rest of you far-right fuckwipes of bitter and rejected alternate American histories -- you want to claim my heritage, and my religion? Fuck you. Choose your weapon.
